Cigarettes that is. Haven't had one all morning, hoping to be able to hold of on it. Working on a Cohiba that I started Sunday and had to put away. I think that's helping lots. :) I've read here that giving up the cigs will improve the experience when smoking cigars, so I'm waiting for that to kick in too.
 
My advice: Avoid gas stations like the plague! If you buy them your screwed.
 
Good luck bro! I made the same commitment and have been off them over a week.
 
Good luck! They say the first couple of weeks are the most difficult. I quit cold turkey and never looked back since
 
It's all about willpower. I haven't smoked a cigarette in 5 years, and never will again. Good luck, and keep your eye on the goal.
 
I went cold turkey on 10 July 2001 after 32 years and haven't had a cig since. If you want to, you can do it.
 
August 16, 1996 after 20 years here. 3 days of patch, then I broke out in hives and went at it cold turkey. Started having a cigar whenever the cravings got too bad. Eventually, the cravings went away . . . discovered I really liked cigars. Haven't had a cigarette since.

Good luck bro! I chewed Copenhagen for 15 years. That is almost half my life. Just one day I finally quit cold turkey. Went thru many set backs and fell of the wagon quite a few times. I had to substitute the habit for something else. The greatest feeling was filling my mouth with chew after my morning coffee. Damn, what a rush...just hard to break those habits when you are used to them on the morning drive, after lunch or for dessert after dinner.
 
Good luck Tiger, you can dooooit!

I smoked cigs for 28-1/2 years. I'm one of those that after trying everything, put myself on Chantix. Ended up not smoking for 10 days, smoked a cigar, started that hobby and also started dipping. I'm fine with substituting for now. My lungs feel better and I don't crave cigarettes anymore.
I got what I wanted.....just to quit cigs

I quit about a year and a half ago. You can do it if you want to. The trick for me was getting to the point where I truly wanted to quit.

I found that eating Tootsie Pops and Blow Pops really eased the process.
 
Good luck, man!! I can't imagine how hard that is. You could always try the Uncle Buck plan: "Isn't that something? I'm on to cigars now. I'm on to a five-year plan. I eliminated cigarettes, then I go to cigars, then I go to pipes, then I go to chewing tobacco, then I'm on to that nicotine gum. "
